JavaScript Program to Trim a String

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following JavaScript programming topics:


Example 1: Trim a String

// program to trim a string

const string = '      Hello World       ';

The trim() method removes white space from both sides of the string.


Example 2: Trim a String Using RegEx
